The Game
Once you have selected your choice of game, you then get to choose
how many rounds to have in the league. This number is limited to the
number of different levels available (Four for those of you with the
unregistered version of Blob)
You then go to the select players screen. Each set of controls is listed
along the middle of the screen. Press fire when the arrow is above a set
of controls to turn the corresponding player on or off. A Blob shows that
the player is active, no Blob means inactive. Select done when you are
finished. If you are playing a Team game, then this screen will be slightly
different.
Once you are done, the fun begins. All players start by dropping from
the top of the screen. Jump by pressing fire (The height of the jump is
determined by how long you hold down the button). Basically, try to land
on the other players, and avoid being landed on yourself. If you die, you
re-appear from a random point at the top of the screen.
Bonuses are available for many things, such as dive-bombing, multiple
kills and other amazing feats. Anti-bonuses are also awarded, for those
of you who are truly useless.
When there are only 15 seconds left in the round, an alarm will sound.
If at this point you have lots more points than everyone else, you may
get a price on your head. If so, anyone who kills you gets bonus points.
(Double or triple points depending on how far ahead you are)
Beware of performing very badly if you have a price on your head, it
can be highly detrimental to your league score.
At the end of a round, the scores are calculated as follows:-
-Two league points are awarded for every kill notched up.
-Players are ranked acording to no. of kills, then points awarded as
follows:-
1st 28 pts (When draws occur, the points for both
2nd 24 pts positions are divided equally between
3rd 20 pts the players)
4th 16 pts
5th 12 pts
6th 8 pts
7th 4 pts
8th 0 pts
-Bonuses - Well, the better it is, the more points it scores.
(And vice versa of course)
